74391249 ÷ 493 
Our goal is to divide 74391249 by 493.

Advancing to step 1:
493 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 493

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 493, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 743 / 493

Going ahead to step 3:
493 can be fit into 743 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 493 from 743 to get 250.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 250, then repeat: 2509 / 493

On to step 4:
The number 493 fits into 2509 5 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 2465 from 2509 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 493

Advancing to step 5:
493 goes into 441 0 times with a remainder of 441.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtract 0 from 441 to get 441.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 441, then repeat: 4412 / 493

Let's proceed to step 6:
493 goes into 4412 8 times with a remainder of 468.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.0
Deduct 3944 from 4412 and we're left with 468.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 468 and repeat the process: 4684 / 493

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 4684 by 493, we get 9 with a remainder of 247.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15089.0
Deduct 4437 from 4684 and we're left with 247.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 247, then carry on: 2479 / 493

Going ahead to step 8:
493 can be fit into 2479 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150895.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 2465 from 2479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 493 fits into 140 0 times, leaving a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150895.0
If we take 0 away from 140, we end up with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
493 goes into 1400 2 times with a remainder of 414.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 150895.02
Subtracting 986 from 1400 leaves us with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
4140 divided by 493 is 8 with a remainder of 196.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150895.028
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 3944 from 4140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
1960 divided by 493 is 3 with a remainder of 481.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 150895.0283
Deduct 1479 from 1960 and we're left with 481.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4810, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
4810 divided by 493 is 9 with a remainder of 373.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 150895.02839
If we take 4437 away from 4810, we end up with 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 3730 by 493, we get 7 and a remainder of 279.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 150895.028397
If we subtract 3451 from 3730, we get 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2790, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 2790 by 493, we get 5 and a remainder of 325.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 150895.0283975
Subtracting 2465 from 2790 leaves us with 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3250 by 493, we get 6 and a remainder of 292.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 150895.02839756
If we take 2958 away from 3250, we end up with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 150895.02839756, and the remainder is 2.92e-07.
